The Beracha on Coconut Water and Chocolate

The Beracha on Coconut Water and Chocolate
Day: Sunday
Date: January 10, 2016
Parshat: Bo
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 204


The beracha on coconut water is shehakol but one who accidentally said ha'etz does not need to say a new beracha. A person who is eating a coconut, on which the berach is ha'etz, and drinks the water does not say a new beracha. The beracha on chocolate is shehakol. Even though the cocoa beans are grown specifically for chocolate, nevertheless, since they have been so drastically changed and mixed with other ingredients and the mixture has been cooked, the beracha becomes shehakol. Nevertheless, one who said ha'etz on chocolate has not done anything wrong and therefore does not need to say a new beracha.
